What do you think are some hidden gems in the city? Bernal Heights Swing is definitely one for us. It’s known to be less foggy & less crowded than Twin Peaks. We visited last week and it’s so green! The wildflowers are starting to bloom. (Thanks 🌧). It’s a really nice time to go right now. Next week the forecast has some sunny days. The views are so gorgeous. On a clear day, you can see golden gate bride, bay bridge, and even the east bay hills. .

We just put “Bernal heights park” in google maps and it took us right there. There are some parking spots, but plenty of little side streets to park on when those spots run out. There is a paved road with limited access. We recommend just walking right up one of the bluffs. There are plenty of carved dirt trails for you to hike on! It’s about a 15-20 minute summit to the swing at the top with littles. You can bring snacks and enjoy the views and the kids can walk around up there. When we went, there were lots of dogs (most not on leashes). So just be aware of that! All were very friendly and the owners would let our kids pet them. .

If you want something else to do nearby, Esmeralda Slide park is right there! The Bernal heights branch library is a couple blocks away. Our favorite burrito in the city (@lataqueriasf) is a 7 min drive from the Bernal heights park. Get the carne asada super burrito dorado style if you go! Also, don’t forget to tag us in your Bay Area adventures plz! .
